not trying to sound rude or insensitive... but the "spoilers" given away on the box are those that basically any Buffy fan knows by now. Season 7 last aired over 18 months ago and FX has aired the season quite a few times (they're on season 7 right now as we speak). If you don't know what happens to who during that season, you're the one who has been hiding in the dark too long. I know people who only saw about three episodes in season 7 who knows what happens on the series finale, and haven't seen that episode yet.
I got into the show around season 3, but even then, I already knew about Angel=Angelus in season 2 (or is that a spoiler too?). I think after a tv show or movie dates a certain point, the "spoilers" become common knowledge. Think of all the movies on VH1's I Love The 70's, 80's and 90's that the panelists discuss and give away the endings to (and I'm not just talking about "duh" endings like "Luke I am your father" but other less famous movies)
considering all previous seasons contain quotes... why should it be wrong for the final dialogue in the entire series be printed? I hate to sound insensitive to the newbies of the show, but after a certain point, we should be able to discuss what happens on the show without worrying about offending. We can discuss Star Wars and say Leia is Luke's sister, and Darth is Luke's father, etc.... and yet I know people who still have never seen a Star Wars movie in their life, but you're not going to see them going "how can you spoil it for me that way?". The Buffy finale has been aired about 7 times so far (twice on UPN, 4 times on FX and once in weekend syndication), it's been shown enough times we should be able to discuss it without worrying about offending.
